this is r t tonight syria blames rebel friendly countries for backing terror and sidelining peace at the u.n. or some point to warning signs that israel might get a far more hostile neighbor if the opposition topples president and. the other uprising continues but without any western attention a young man dies in a bahraini prison after claims he was denied medical help and having spent several months locked up for taking part in anti regime protests. plus georgia's president saakashvili admits defeat for his party in parliamentary elections despite reports of massive electoral fraud and ballot stuffing in its favor.
3:01 pm
over a good evening for me kevin owen if you just joined us just after eleven pm now here in moscow our top story tonight the syria has accused the u.s. france and their allies in the arab world of sabotaging peace efforts by supporting rebels with arms money and mercenaries the country's foreign minister delivered a fiery speech on the final day of the un general assembly meanwhile claims are emerging that some of the western backed rebels who also have the support of israel might try to target jews if they manage to topple president assad journalist couple come already uncovered some of that evidence supporting those claims. the irony of supporting the rebels who may eventually become great enemies of the west is something that's lost on the internet on the very eager interventionists who are pushing the west to intervene in syria to arm the opposition and i interviewed a group of rebels in damascus who were holed up in various parts of the masters and
3:02 pm
there is a bird. some of them a few of them who traveled from afghanistan said that they had a big fight against the jews ahead of them and this is a million to me because i've met people elsewhere particularly in pakistan who say that they have a fight with the jews ahead of them so they see that as the ultimate this is one of the things that was particularly disturbing to me is how close is being as a possible replacement for us are not a lot of people know that in our classes father most of our class is a first rate he's written a book called the marts of design which talks about the blood libel and he was smuggled out class was smuggled out of the country by french spies he is he keeps making trips to saudi arabia but not a lot of people know the history behind monarchy people should be wary of men are close to being a brute as a as
3:03 pm
a possible replacement. damascus is the lion's share of those fighting under the banner of syrian rebels are foreign mercenaries and some reports putting the number over ninety percent beirut based political analysts told us such claims are backed by the videos opposition fighters post online. all the you tube. videos taken by by the rebels themselves which were posted on. opposition pages on facebook and elsewhere you could tell from the accent of those rebels and you know they really had a different accent from different countries in the arab world i mean the libyans and yemenis and. you know like different nationalities much less you can syrian actually during those videos where you see the. regime slaughtered by by those terrorists the saudis and the qataris they are playing russian roulette if i may say they would like to seize control of the and
3:04 pm
in their own mind the mind they want to create. throughout the region it's not a good person and they don't want to implement freedoms and democracy because if they wanted to do so they should have started in their own countries especially in saudi arabia as western eyes are firmly fixed on the syrian conflict the slow burning revolt in bahrain is claiming more lives a young man has died in prison after having spent several months there for taking part in the regime protest something he denied his lawyer claims the twenty two year old was refused adequate health treatment meanwhile five medics would be jailed in the gulf kingdom for the role in pro-democracy demonstrations but charges a big just politically motivated by rights groups is just a day after the five got this along with four others lost their appeal against jail terms in the country's highest court the medics were part of the group which treated protest is introduced a crackdown on anti regime demonstrations last year the calling cavalry's
3:05 pm
a former lecturer at the university of bahrain it's over the other restaurants no attention from western governments because they have their own interests at heart in the arab country. who are going to sleep easily. bahrain. until the election is over the presidential election has taken priority and the election here in the united states is on november sixth so for obama is not going to say anything about the brutality of the bahraini regime until after the elections and us at the naval base fiercely based in bahrain and the u.s. knows that they don't want to upset the khalifa and their basing rights that they give us for our fifth fleet. so right now the khalifas are getting away with murder they're getting away with torture they're getting away with criminal activity and they're buying seats on the new in human rights advisory council tried
3:06 pm
to make their earliest regime appear to be acceptable to the international community but of course they're not and they're committing murder. of the call and we've got the chronology of events in bahrain and set out to the multiple stories of human rights abuses and violations in full. europe receiving a lost generation that's the warning from brussels as unemployment to the eurozone hits the highest level so far in the history of the monetary union it's as anger over a sterile policy sweeps the e.u. with the latest show fury taking place in athens euro gross's a research of the european university institute he says the belt tightening
3:07 pm
strategies only make it a bad situation worse well it's out of the state of the economy is absolutely dire and it actually tells us that what these leaders are trying to do through all these meetings in these summits is actually aggravating the situation the austerity measures that are being imposed the radical structural reforms each of these things is actually aggravating the situation by undermining grown by undermining investor confidence and by omission the humanitarian tragedy i mean there is an enormous public outrage right now in spain as there is in greece as there is in portugal and in these people who are allowed to decide on their own future they would not choose the path of the u.s. forcing them down right now so what you're seeing is a repetition of what we've seen for the past twenty or thirty years what's happened in the developing world is that international lenders through international institutions actually cancel the sovereignty of nations states in order to ensure full repayment of the debt and this is being repeated right now in spain spain would do very well the lessons that were learned in the past they get from three other countries that took a radically different approach argentina ecuador and i sent each of which in the
3:08 pm
past ten or eleven years repudiated part part of their external debt and thereby freed up a lot of public funds to spend on social security and reviving the economy and actually bailing out homeowners for example as opposed to bailing out the banks that that made such speculative bets and in the mortgage industry so i think that there are plenty of options available but the most important thing is to prioritize the interests of the domestic population at large against the interests of foreign lenders. and it's the issue of meissen employing it's being used by a britain's opposition leader ed miliband to score political points but many left and impressed by his highly anticipated speech which was criticised for turning into a life story of london correspondent scott more on that a bit later. but next george is entering a new political era with president saakashvili admitting defeat for his ruling party in parliamentary elections the opposition bloc georgian dream is leading in the polls now with most of the ballots counted it will now than form
3:09 pm
a new government effectively ending the current regime's decade long monopoly on power parties lecturers esky has the latest he's been following the vote for us in tbilisi. it is a definitely a very sharp turn around for georgia because the people who were in opposition to the current power just yesterday are basically days away from becoming the ruling party in this country and nobody expected this to happen just six months ago and largely this happened because of the scandal in september when the future of prison torture and sexual abuse in georgian prisons was released and this according to some experts changed the situation dramatically the writing of the current political party of the of the presidential party dropped by nearly twenty percent so definitely the situation is unfolding very interesting nobody expected such results certainly there's a lot of work ahead a very hard work ahead for the opposition and it's interesting now to see where it will go even if it's really the head of the georgia dream party and possibly georgia's future prime minister he's a very new man to politics he is a billionaire with his fortune making up almost half of georgia's national budget
3:10 pm
but he's already spoken some of his directions of his future policies or at a press conference saying that one of his priorities in the foreign policy will be restoring relations with moscow definitely when saakashvili and his party were contemplating changes to the constitution which will grant more powers to the prime minister next year when saakashvili steps down certainly the he probably did not expect that things would go out this way and many experts have already described it that saakashvili has been digging his own hole certainly this loss in the election is not only playing well because you know he lost it and he was also always very determined to be victorious in this election but it could have very serious implications for him first of all the many experts are now saying that the new parliamentary majority might might investigate the prison torture incident which was published in september and old links will most probably. be and his team so she could have serious legal complications possibly
3:11 pm
a lawsuit or maybe even prison for this scandal which happened in georgia but definitely what we know already from the. really and he said that it is easy to skip press conference that he will ask to resign peacefully if not they will launch some procedures within the parliament to impeach the current president so with these results being so unexpected it is clearly a very it will be very interesting to see what happens in georgia over the next several months maybe several years and certainly artsy will be following all the developments in this both soviet states very very closely indeed. the leader of the opposition coalition billionaire busy in a village hilly has already called on president saakashvili to resign but professor mark ullman who's a co-author of a book on post communist georgian history thinks that despite admitting defeat suckers but he's not likely to give up power easily it could be a dramatic change or it could be the herald of a period of infighting so surely may well try to shape the situation to both bring
3:12 pm
a supporter to power to protect him in the future but also to try to split the georgian dream coalition remember it's a rather disparate group of people who have been primarily united by the whole stability to saakashvili even if you like their fear of saakashvili. is a mission of defeat in a sense perhaps shows that he's a wounded animal but the would be still a fear that he would use the prerogatives of the president to try to split the opposition or to try to create perhaps a crisis that will restore his position. nato troops could be soon at the previously planned report of the very same tonights in light of the surge of insider attacks on u.s. soldiers and plummeting morale among troops this is a very short it's a night to. present but if a person criticizes the e.u. but energy package saying it could lead to a financial collapse in gas transportation all that and more after.

the stunning beauty of reindeer gracefully dancing across the arctic tundra more than just a scenic image it is a way of life for some traditionally the nets people are nomadic reindeer herders and though in many ways they lead a simple and rustic life they are also highly skilled and organized in their trade . another weekend will be preparing for a living around their need for a response to some rule is depending on. the day we found this particularly camp they were settled near the coast of the ta to see here for families work together to manage nearly a thousand reindeer herding reindeer is not just a job for the people in fact they say it's a part of their entire culture heritage and way of life and back they say that they can use almost every single part of the reindeer to help them survive. a deer is

now the u.k. general election may be three years away but battle lines are already being. form of the keynote speech by opposition leader ed miliband seen as an attempt to persuade voters that he could lead the country ed miliband addressed the labor party conference in a delivery which left many with more questions than answers on what his policies are. explains a bit more. it was billed as the most personal speech ever given by a british political leader and personal it was ed miliband told the labor party conference about his childhood as the son of jewish refugees who fled the nazis and
3:17 pm
his school days as a london comprehensive which he says enabled him to get on with people from all walks of life his ultimate goal to differentiate himself from david cameron and his chancellor george osborne who have been branded from within their own party as to push boys who don't know the price of milk but in reality just how different is ed miliband his father was a socialist intellectual and his upbringing in highbrow north london circles is worlds away from the lives of most british workers he went to oxford and has never had a proper job outside politics apart from a teaching post at harvard's this speech was full of bluster about the call me the police the wonder of the lympics an ephemeral vision for britain some might say that's because policies are few and far between he says he'll still tout the banks
3:18 pm
make sure companies pay a fair wage and support the national health service but the main announcement of the speech was a promise that if elected label instigate a massive increase in food cation all education focusing on the fifty percent of young people who don't go to university a great idea youth unemployment is around twenty percent at the moment but there was no mention of the all important cost and how it would be met miliband has admitted that if labor was in power they'd be making austerity cuts too but he's refused to give any detail until after elected more than anything miliband has tried again to cost himself as a man of the people but many are saying that if he wants the people to listen what he really needs to do is not talk about himself these seemingly endless anecdotes about his childhood and his family but seriously and in detail about the country and its problems. laura smith it's music brief tonight at least twenty six students

have been killed in north east nigeria's government over fire and also residents the attacks come a day after an operation against an islamist militant group in the town the organization's about attacks on christians and churches and is reportedly responsible for over six hundred deaths this year. six crew members interested after a pleasure boat and a ferry collided off the coast of hong kong it's killed thirty eight pleasure boats carrying more than one hundred passengers to watch fireworks in the city's harbor the ferry was mostly undamaged but the boat sank with people still suffering. nature's chief has admitted the alliances we draw from afghanistan could be accelerated because of the taliban strategy now of insider attacks it comes as the number of u.s. soldiers killed during the invasion and eleven year old q patient reached the two thousand mark according to the nato secretary general the so-called green on blue attacks on western soldiers have undermined troop morale they've also affected nato afghan relations as the alliance prepares to hand security responsibilities to
3:20 pm
local forces i spoke to middle east academic edmund ghareeb from the american university in washington he thinks nato has brought hostility upon itself. well first of all there are there is the issue of the difficulty of trying to impose order or a certain kind of order by foreign powers on afghanistan but other part of it has to do also with the policies which have been pursued by nato in afghanistan these policies have marked really transformed very gratian underground greatly improved the lives of bad people and they have not contributed to building up. infrastructure as some have promised more importantly i think what we are seeing is there is plants from population which do a certain extent is reflected by the counter attacks from taliban and its. allies
3:21 pm
there is a great deal of resentment against that tax by drones which have led to their death so many many innocent civilians in afghanistan even the afghan president himself. has called on nato to curb stop them because they are ending up killing a lot of innocents and creating a great deal of anger and paganism colored. coach of the business know how to be trade quick business update from your president putin's been criticizing the e.u. again why is that it's because of the new energy rules kevin is because of the first energy package in the e.u. envisages the separation of transportation production and sales in the gas industry and that could be very harmful to gazprom strands for business let's listen to what the president has to say about that. but you might suggest transportation business is separated but. it exists only through subsidies from production and sales as
3:22 pm
a business transport is not that attractive in its third energy package separates it which is dangerous. and that's given the trust probe which the e.u. launched against gas problem which has been pretty harmful to gazprom shares today on the markets they were performing worse than the market average with the my six nazi is declining overall around the third of a percent that's also on the back of a pretty gloomy forecast from the economics ministry that the capital outflow would be around sixty five billion dollars this year up to eighty billion we saw last year so just as we're not really happy about that over in the united states we're also seeing a negative session that spain's prime minister has announced that he doesn't see a bailout request to be imminent so therefore investors saw that as a negative signal a lot of them were speculating that. stimulus would be coming towards spain
3:23 pm
therefore problem would be solved but no no this is not the case so it was happening in europe that the announcement came after the u. markets close they were up for out most of the day but declined at the close which was basically a technical correction after a strong session yesterday and gains today and mostly led by financial shares and on the currencies market we're seeing the year of continuing to gain versus the greenback while the russian ruble lost value against both the euro and the dog. and that's my updates the do join business r.t. tomorrow at eight am we will have the rain across or we're taking an insight into the car business the car business the result of buying a car the other day will tell whether to get you onto our night yes i am going forward to see them thanks to me three now for a short break we'll be back with much courage to lift the lid on the latest secrets and scandals in the world of high finance he's always got so many to talk about because reports are next program.
